Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 424,074 found · chance alone about 421,918 (probability of 424,074 or more by chance alone: 0.00046).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 6,666,918 sequences of נעם across every skip (2–152,424), 1.9% above what chance alone gives (about 6,539,547); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of below 10⁻³⁰⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 11:2, reading forward.
The longest skip at which נעם was found in the Torah is 152,301 — at Genesis 1:6, reading forward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 6,539,547 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 6,666,918 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.
Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
